Cover letters...

Forget the cover letter, just go for a video resume. They're all the rage.

oh I know I think my cv is pretty good at the mo... but when it comes to cover letters I go blank. Although I wrote one last week (they wanted handwritten) and got called for the interview next monday... but I can't for the life of me remember what I put in it. I'm so used to sending out applications and usually keep a copy of them online... but i shoulda wrote out a copy of this letter cos it obviously worked :oops:

oh that's great to hear you got a call back! yeah!!

i just have a hard time talking myself up... and I tend to ramble (if you couldn't tell )

I've three interviews next week

I know.. the talking yourself up thing is something people generally aren't used to doing and it's harder than it seems to get the right words without seeming bigheaded but still seeming great I've had two mock interviews this week though... one was purposely very tough... the kinda guy who, when you give an answer, he'll roll his eyes or just interrupt and go, no I don't want to hear about that. :shock: It was actually fun though and I was less nervous in that one than I was the other one. He was impressed with me though and went out of his way afterwards to get me a placement at the place I've been doing my course.

good luck on them!!!!

I can't even worry about the interviews yet... that's when I'll be really nervous!

I usually look forward to them... kinda excited. I don't get nervous so much as... completely blank :shock: but yeh, right now, just focus on the cover letter. There is plenty of help out there with stuff like this if you want to look. I found mine through the unemployment people. Maybe there's something similar over there?
